      ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SENATOR PAT ROBERTS' 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, I have the pleasure to announce that 
Senator Pat Roberts has achieved the 100 hour mark as Presiding 
Officer. In doing so, Senator Roberts has earned his second Gold Gavel 
Award.
  Since the 1960's, the Senate has recognized those dedicated Members 
who preside over the Senate for 100 hours with the golden gavel. This 
award continues to represent our appreciation for the time these 
dedicated Senators contribute to presiding over the U.S. Senate--a 
privileged and important duty.
  On behalf of the Senate, I extend our sincere appreciation to Senator 
Roberts and his diligent staff for their efforts and commitment to 
presiding duties during the 106th Congress.
